With the great pics cornish posted I wondered if it would be worth starting a gallery thread where we can post pics? I'm sure with the photo editing software any numberplates, faces etc could be blurred if necessary or wanted.
-
Sounds like a good idea :) Would be a good place to share artwork and stuff and for those of us that are happy to, it'd be nice to out names to faces :)
-
I like the idea as well so will set up a new board for this />.
-
sounds good to me, i like photography but lost a lot of my old photos and now i have no idea where my camera is or have any motivation to actually use it. :( a gallery will hopefully get me motivated and give me something to do again :)
-
It would be great if you could get out and take a few, it would be lovely to see them :)

i think im going to start with taking a few at work of some of what i see as interesting things, but in a few places im not allowed a camera :( i can think of a few places where i can get on the roof n take a few nice shots
-
That sounds fantastic but dont get into trouble!
My hard drive packed up a couple of weeks ago but I knew it was on the way out so most of my pics are now on an external hard drive, I need to get them sorted and put on my new PC when I get a chance.
-
the same thing happened to me, i had thousands of pics on my old pc till the hard drive died :( was gutted that they weren't backed up, now i back everything up
i wont get in trouble i have access to places that most staff in the buildings dont even know exist and in some places i have a master key :D
-
Its really sad to lose everything like that, fortunately I recognised the symptoms and backed up before it died. I did consider putting all my pics on photobox or photobucket but never got round to it (rather like I've never got round to converting all my vinyl and tapes to CD), perhaps one day!

vinyl ???? tapes ??? what are you on about??? :P
yeah i considered doing that too as i just end up uploading them again and again ::)
-
;D ;D ;D just showing my age ;)
-
haha, i can just about remember vinyl. or did CD's just get a bit smaller :P
-
It amazes me how quickly technology has advanced, I had my first mobile phone in the early 90's and it was the size of a small brick!
I think the first single I bought was in 1962 or 1963 and they cost 6/3d (old money), that would be around 31p in new money I think....
-
ok now you have genuinely lost me, old money is way before my time.
personally im a hater of phones, always have been and now anxiety doesn't help with that ::)
-
told you I was showing my age ;)
I have a bigger fear of getting lost or breaking down miles from anywhere than of phones, I got my mobile after I had a really scary experience doing both on one journey :(
-
im sure your not that old ;)
yeah i worry about that a bit, then again last time i broke down the radiator in my range rover cracked and i fixed it by bashing the hell out of it with a rock i found at the side of the road :P
-
Old enough to remember old money! ;)
my first cars were a succession of minis then a very old petrol Land Rover, I could almost always get them going enough to at least get me home, then I got a diesel Hi Lux followed by a diesel Trooper and diesel engines seem much more complicated to me, plus all this computer management stuff cars have so I have no idea what to do if a car breaks down with me these days.
A few years ago I wrecked my left wrist so I had to get an automatic as changing gear made he injury worse every time I drove, and I'd have no idea what to do with it I had problems.
I do love my 4x4's though and now my wrist has more or less mended I'd like to get a Land Rover again, perhaps when my current Trooper has died, got to admit I'd probably miss the luxury of my air conditioning now though!
-
the newer defenders are pretty luxurious and some have air con and they can be converted to automatic by a competent mechanic or there's the discovery / range rover or the ::) freelander ::)
my first car was an old land rover, i loved her.
-
I've never really liked The Discovery but a Defender or Range Rover might be just the ticket, David is a good mechanic so would probably be able to do a conversion if I needed him to
I loved my old Land Rover too :)
-
well the other option is to build a series land rover up with an automatic on a coil sprung chassis so its basically a defender and but tax exempt and with classic looks and adding air con would be a few hours work :)
-
I think David would have a fit if I asked him to do all that, perhaps when he isnt so busy!
He is repairing a horse trailer for me atm, the idea being to refurbish the horsebox, which I havent driven since I wrecked my wrist, get a test on it and sell it as we wont need it now Maxie has gone and it seems sense to get rid of a big lorry that is kept taxed and insured just in case we need to use it and just have a trailer here that we can tow with one of the Troopers if and when we need to.
After that he has to do something with a half-cab lorry that he has put another cab on and will sometime (hopefully) get a horsebox body on and sell it
-
ah its not that much work really, a land rover is like mechano, its all easy HONESTLY ;) ;)
probably best to just buy something that doesn't need all of that doing then, just the non time consuming stuff
-
I've heard an awful lot of bad language coming from underneath our old Land Rover!
I know David wants another one so I guess it'll happen some day :)
-
thats all part of the land rover experience :)
-
I guess so ;D
I never hear that language when he's working on one of his bikes....
